After the children finished their desserts, Roxanne led them back into the kindergarten.
When she returned to the car and saw Lucian's nonchalant expression, she couldn't resist asking, “Since when did I agree to go to the movies with you in the afternoon?”
Throwing her a glance, Lucian replied matter-of-factly, “I'm sorry that I took the liberty to decide on your behalf. Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed.”
Having her exact thoughts read, Roxanne averted her gaze.
She could roughly guess that from Lucian's perspective, the entire day was meant to be a date.
However, it just felt too sudden for her.
When she didn't say anything in reply, Lucian's eyes darkened. “We can watch it another day if you're upset about it. As for the children's gifts, I'll get them in the afternoon.”
Detecting the disappointment in his voice, Roxanne quickly shook her head with a smile. “It's not that. I just thought that I should've dressed up for the occasion.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Lucian gave her an affectionate look. “That's not necessary. You always look gorgeous to me.”
His romantic words caused Roxanne's cheeks to blush.
“Even the waitress couldn't stop gawking at you earlier,” Lucian teased as he started driving.
Roxanne retorted, “You're the one she was ogling at. I didn't even put on any makeup today.”
On working days, she would wear little to no makeup and dress as simply as possible.
If it wasn't for Lucian, she would probably not be allowed into the restaurant earlier.
